Sunday I was up by 6:30 or so in order to get to church early for the 8:30 chapel service where I was hosting. I also hosted at 10:30, which meant I was at church till after 11:30. (I ran to get gas and pick up a few things at the grocery store at 9:30!)
We at Jimmy Johns vegetarian sandwiches for lunch and were back in the car by 1:20 to drive to Grove City, Ohio, where one of Evelyn's former students and D-group members was getting married.
We were there by 3:00, and it started raining about 3:03. It rained till almost 3:30, when the wedding (set up in the courtyard beside the banquet room at the golf club) was supposed to start.
The groomsmen scurried and dried all the chairs, and we were seated. We had been waiting outside, and I don't remember ever feeling hotter. The rain just made the humidity all the more oppressive, and the temperature was high. I was SO glad when the short ceremony was finished and we could get inside to the air conditioning.
We found a few CCU people Evelyn knows to visit with during the "cocktail hour" and found our seats in the beautiful ballroom sometime after 5:00. We stayed till almost 7:30, but we still made it home not long after 9:00 p.m.
It was a long weekend, with very little time at home. But we have some nice memories.
We're getting ready to drive to New York Thursday afternoon and Friday morning for our long weekend with all the kids. We talked with Geoff tonight to nail down possibilities. It will be nice!
